109 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10009
109 St Marks Place is a 6-story, 25-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Benchmark 109, LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with system maintenance, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most were resolved promptly. There are active violations regarding door maintenance affecting multiple apartments (5, 11, 17, 22, and 23) concerning self-closing mechanisms and frames, identified during a December 2023 inspection.
The building's facade requires attention, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 noting issues with cracked mortar joints, stucco, and loose bricks on the east elevation, along with an unfiled required wall report with a penalty of $6,250. The property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with regular rodent inspections passing since 2019, though there were bedbug incidents reported in 2022-2024 affecting two units, with successful eradication. Water supply and plumbing issues have been recurring concerns, with multiple complaints filed between 2024-2025, though most resolved with no violations found upon inspection.
The building has faced several serious safety concerns in recent years, including an emergency work order in 2022 for defective facade conditions, a historical complaint regarding an obstructed fire escape in 2020, and various violations related to door hardware and self-closing mechanisms. While the building has generally passed regular rodent inspections, the maintenance pattern suggests ongoing challenges with timely repairs and compliance with certain building codes. The most recent 311 service requests include a 2025 DOHMH complaint regarding a food establishment, which was closed following inspection.
